While we do have an ARF forum and many military posts go there, I feel this forum should stay as is. Its Warbirds and Warplanes. If you feel the need, then post in the Scale forum. There are many that benefit from this forum whether its built or assembled. After all, a JUG is a JUG is a JUG! I like to go through and see what people have done whether its built or an ARF. What prevents someone from stripping the ARF and covering with FLightMetal or fiberglass and paint. Why not split it further into Monokote warbirds and fiberglass and painted warbirds. Surely those that Monokote really dont want to take the time to fiberglass and are therefore less in stature than the master builders!
